In the Silence of the Heart

Seron Ghazarian

Nel Silenzio del Cuore

Ti conosco,
non come si riconosce un volto tra tanti,
ma come si riconosce una voce nell’oscurità,
come qualcosa che l’anima attendeva sin dall’inizio.

C’è un fuoco tra noi che non osa esplodere,
che vive nei silenzi troppo pieni per parlare,
negli sguardi che si cercano e si arrendono,
nelle parole che tremano e non nascono mai.

Quando sono vicino a te, Eros lotta e si arrende,
respirando profondamente sotto la pelle,
chiamandomi verso di te con dolce violenza,
con un desiderio che chiede l’infinito.
Ma Cristo è lì, vivo tra noi,
non come distanza, ma come una fiamma più alta,
che prende questo amore e lo purifica,
senza spezzarlo ma consacrandolo.

E così, non per possederti,
ma per donarmi senza perdere chi sono,
per amarti come Dio ci insegna ad amare,
ti desidero profondamente, completamente, liberamente, eternamente.
L’Agape cresce qui, nell’attesa,
che ci brucia e ci plasma,
dove le parole «non ancora»
diventano preghiera sulle mie labbra.

Sogno il giorno in cui non tratterremo nulla,
quando le nostre mani si cercheranno senza paura,
e il bacio del cuore
diventerà carne, respiro, verità.
E anche ora, nella sua incompletezza,
questo amore è già sacro:
nasce in Dio e a Lui ritorna, senza paura.

In the Silence of the Heart‍

‍I know you,
not as one recognises a face among many,
but as one recognises a voice in the darkness,
as something the soul has been waiting for since the beginning.

There is a fire between us that does not dare to explode,
that lives in silences too full to speak,
in glances that seek each other and surrender,
in words that tremble and are never born.

When I am near you, Eros struggles and surrenders,
Breathing deeply beneath the skin,
calling me towards you with a sweet violence,
with a desire that asks for infinity.
But Christ is there, alive between us,
not as distance, but as a higher flame,
that takes this love and purifies it,
not breaking it but consecrating it.

And so, not to possess you,
but to give myself without losing who I am,
to love you as God teaches us to love,
I desire you deeply, completely, freely, eternally.
Agape grows here, in the waiting,
that burns and shapes us,
where the words 'not yet'
become prayer upon my lips.

I dream of the day when we will hold nothing back,
when our hands will seek each other without fear,
and the kiss of the heart
will become flesh, breath, truth.
And even now, in its incompleteness,
this love is already sacred:
it is born in God and returns to Him, without fear.

Seron Ghazarian

Seron is a poet exploring the spaces between longing, faith, and distance. Her work moves through themes of love, spirituality, and the quiet tension between the human and the divine. She writes in both Italian and English, drawn to imagery of light, silence, and the cosmos as ways to understand emotional truth. Her poems often dwell in what is felt but not fully spoken—where desire becomes prayer and absence becomes meaning. She is interested in how love transforms perception, turning personal experience into something universal, fragile, and infinite. Writing is where she listens for what cannot otherwise be said.
